“A People to People Program”
Bakersfield Sister City is an all-volunteer, non-profit oraganization that serves as Bakersfield’s link to the international community and especially to the governments and citizens of Bakersfield’s six Sister Cities:
- Wakayama, Japan (1961)
- Partisan District of Minsk, Belarus (1995)
- Cixi, China (1996)
- Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico (2005)
- Bucheon, Republic of Korea (2006)
- Amritsar, India (2011)
The Sister City program provides the opportunity both for cultural, educational, municipal, business, professional and technical exchanges between different cities and for local community development and volunteer action by motivating and empowering private citizens, municipal officials and business leaders to conduct long-term programs of mutual benefit.
